Value Collection 497506040.125-1 Solid Wire Solder 11 Gauge

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 497506040.125-1 is a solid wire solder in alloy construction, sized at 11 gauge. Solid wire solder is a core consumable for plumbers, HVAC technicians, and electricians who join copper tubing, sheet metal, and electrical conductors. Unlike flux-core wire, solid wire solder requires separate flux application, giving the technician control over flux type and volume for the specific joint material and service condition. At 1.125 pounds per package, it provides a practical working quantity for service calls and bench work alike.

This solder is suited for residential and light commercial applications where alloy solid wire is the specified consumable. Typical uses include copper sweat joints on water supply and refrigerant lines, sheet metal fabrication, and general electrical soldering where a clean, flux-free wire is required. It is sold in a single-unit package, making it a straightforward add-on to a standard order.

Key Features

• Solid wire construction — no flux core, allowing independent flux selection for the joint type
• 11 gauge diameter for consistent feed and bead size on standard trade joints
• Alloy material suitable for common plumbing, HVAC, and electrical soldering applications
• 1.125-pound spool weight provides a serviceable quantity for field and shop use
• Single-unit packaging with no minimum quantity requirement beyond one unit

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose solid wire solder for use in plumbing, HVAC, and electrical soldering tasks where alloy wire and separately applied flux are appropriate for the joint and service conditions.

Installation Notes

Solid wire solder is applied by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and electricians depending on the application. Always shut off and depressurize or de-energize the system before making solder joints. Apply a compatible flux separately to all mating surfaces before heat is introduced. Follow applicable codes including IPC and IFGC for pipe joining and NEC for electrical connections, and allow joints to cool fully before restoring pressure or power.
